Unique New Pet Store to Open in New York Mall

USA Dog and Pet Shop is scheduled to open August 27 at the Palisades Center Mall in West Nyack, N.Y., promising to be not your “typical” pet store. The shop will house some pets from the Hi-Tor Animal Care Center, a local animal shelter, and although adoption applications will be available at the mall, officials said all adoptions must be completed at the shelter.

Co-owner Jessica MacDonald said the store’s products are all U.S. made. One unique product that will be for sale is the Freedom No-Pull harness — MacDonald is the patented item’s inventor and describes it as their “number one selling product.” The shop will also provide services such as grooming, pet day care and training, in addition to adoption information.

Additionally, MacDonald said as the company grows, they will add additional product lines such as furniture, treats and jewelry. USA Dog and Pet Shop is currently under construction and should be completed some time between August 20 and August 25.
